4. If the size of a population is stable over time, what relationship do you expect between recruitment (birth or hatching) and mortality? How would immigration and emigration factor into this equation?
Homework Answers
- Population is defined as total number of individuals of a species present in specific area at specific time. In an closed population (where no individual is migrating in or out of the population), growth is controlled by birth rate and date rates only.
Growth= Birth rate- death rate
If these two factors are equal then population will be stable and did not show any growth or reduction.
- If population is not closed or any individual is moving in or out of population
Immigration- If any individual moves into the population from outside.
Emigration- If any individual leaves the population.
In this case above equation will change to
Growth- Birth rate-death rate + Immigration- emigration

More Calculating Population Size Populations of any organism can be analyzed mathematically. Population biologists are interested in characteristics such as doubling time, growth rate, carrying capacity, and total population at the end of a given amount of time. These calculations depend on such variables as birth and death rate, immigration and emigration, and initial population size. Use the following formulas to find the population size for each of the...

Which of the following factors directly affect the size of a population? Note: You can select multiple answers. Birth (number of new individuals born each season). Death (number of individuals who die) Diversity (biological diversity and genetic diversity) Emigration (number of individuals leaving the population) Health (how healthy the members of the population are) Immigration (number of individuals from another population joining the population of interest)

What is carrying capacity? A) the minimum population size that s particular environment can handle B) the maximum population size that a particular environment can handle C) when the population growth rate is increasing exponentially Logistical growth is density dependent. What would be the best explanation for the leveling off of the curve as you approach carry capacity? A) decrease in birth rates only B) increase in death rates only C) both a decrease in birth rates and increase in...

Ecology question: how would you make a graph of how population size changes over time for a population of owls with per capita growth rate =0.5 and carrying capacity=200 that starts at a low population size. i want to see numbers on the y axis but there doesn't need to be numbers on the x axis, also how would the axes be labeled.

5. Assume a predator and its prey are interacting according to the basie Lotka-Volterra model. The prey population size is 1000, the predator population size is 10, the prey population's intrinsic rate of growth is 0.1, the predator's capture efficiency is 0.01, the predator's assimilation efficiency is 0.2, and the predator's mortality rate is 0.3. a. Under these conditions, what are the instantaneous growth rates of the prey and predator...

Q2- Fish Population In this question, we will use differential equations to study the fish population in a certain lake. An acceptable model for fish population change should take into account the birth rate, death rate, as well as harvesting rate Let P(t) denote the living fish population (measured in tonnes) at time t (measured in year) Then the net rate of change of the fish population in tonnes of fish per year is P'(t): P'(t) birth rate - death...
